The Founder Showcase, Silicon Valley's premier startup pitch and networking event, is coming up once again on Tuesday, Feb. 1st in Mountain View. This quarterly event brings together over 300 investors, founders, and members of the press for one action-packed night to network, hear talks from leading CEOs, and help launch a startup company to greatness.

This 6th Founder Showcase will feature a keynote speech by George Zachary, General Partner of Charles River Ventures. George is one of Silicon Valley’s brightest investors, having led early investments in Twitter, Yammer, Scribd, Shutterfly, and more. Guests will also see pitches from 10 hot technology startups in the open pitch competition, and network over food and drinks in a demo table area where many other startups showcase their wares. The event is designed to democratize access to Silicon Valley, so tickets are affordable, and the Pitch Competition is free. Tickets start at just $40 - but the last four events have sold out so register today at www.FounderShowcase.com. Use the discount code plancaster to get 15% off.

We are also giving away one free exhibit table at the event with two tickets ($350 value) to someone who helps spread the word.
